Cork Hurlers - Part 2

In your opinion.
I think O Brien is a big talent, wait and see what the others deliver.

I wouldn't swap Power, Barrett or Connolly for them but then this just my opinion.
English is going to start at midfield next year i think
O Brien looks good but he is currently chronically inaccurate in his shooting.
A wild card for limerick might be Ethan Hurley from newcastlewest getting in at wing back
However there is no doubt that limerick have taken the eye off the ball at underage in the last few years

I wouldn't agree that Limerick have taken eye off ball at underage ,we may not be winning championships but are competitive at all grades.
As for the seniors most are realistic that this has been a generational side for us,7 sfs ,6 munsters in a row and 5 all irelands in 7 years. There are miles on the clock for sure,new players will come in for sure but we are in the mix for honours and should have a chance again next year. Getting out of Munster will be the first challenge ,looking forward to it already.

A fair summary.

People talk as if Limerick were never competitive before this team which isn't true at all. Limerick have always been a very hard team to beat for any county. In the past they often came close but came up short.
This is possibly the first team to consistently deliver wins over a sustained period. The roll of honour that you have listed is impressive and may not be finished yet.
However, this team is now in the autumn of it's lifespan and the challenge gets greater each year rather than less. I think there is little doubt that some players did not have a great year in 2024 and unless they are Benjamin Button they will all be a year older in 2025. Young men in age, but hurlers with lots of miles on the clock.

I certainly would not rule out another All Ireland but I think it is a huge ask.
 
I dont know. Its probably fair enough that it was 6 5 4 because there wasnt much between the three teams.

The only real outrage was Malone not getting nominated
that was shocking carry on
I’ve no issue with Limerick getting 4 I just don’t think Hegarty was one of them, Gillane had a greater impact imo.

It’s always hard to pick 15 though, plenty other lads that missed out could easily be there
